My toolbox is bloated

I thought my under-$5 Wal-Mart toolbox was doing a fine job, until I put everything way.

You see, I’ve been cleaning up all week and packing for the Texas Bead Retreat, and after putting away all my tools, I realized they no longer fit. The lid has a good three or four inches to be smashed … and you probably shouldn’t try. It’s not like sitting on a suitcase full of clothes. The results could be painful! 🙂

All my tools fit fine when they were all over the apartment! Oh, well. I haven’t yet decided if I’ll just bring what I have to the retreat and worry about my storage problem later, or get one of those rolling toolboxes, but I’m just not sure I want to make that leap. (It will be the third toolbox I’ve inhabited since I started beading.)
